48 hours in Greenwich

Fondly known as the ‘home of time’, Greenwich is the point where the Eastern and Western hemispheres meet and lends its name to Greenwich Mean Time. No mean feat. It also boasts a rich maritime history, one of the world’s largest telescopes and the O2 arena. If that wasn’t enough reason to visit, we’ll be pitching up with a brand-new store. Stay tuned.
